Chapter 1623: The death of the villager

The first thousand six hundred and twenty-three chapters of the death of the villager
"who are you?"
Seeing the old man who appeared suddenly, Yang Chen frowned and slowly put down the drumstick in his hand.
"It doesn't matter who I am, just look at yourself." The old man shook his head when he heard the words, said faintly with a slight sigh in his eyes.
Hearing this, Yang Chen was taken aback for a moment, and immediately looked down at it.
Immediately afterwards, he was horrified to discover that his body turned into white bones at some point? From his waist down, at this moment all became silvery white, hideous and terrifying skeletons!
And his clothes were already dampened by sweat. He didn't notice all of this just now?
"This, what's going on?" Seeing this scene, Yang Chen's pupils shrank slightly, and there was also a slight shock in his eyes.
He didn't even notice the changes in his body? Not only that, even after his body turned into bones, he didn't even notice the slightest pain?
If it hadn't been for this old man's sudden appearance, I'm afraid he wouldn't have noticed the slightest when Yang Chen's whole body turned into a skeleton.
What exactly is going on?
"Oh!" Hearing this, the old man suddenly sighed, his eyes showed a little helplessness, and said quietly: "Every year, many people come in here, and they are just like you. I lost my way and bewitched my mind. In the end, everything fell into the form of people and ghosts."
Speaking of this, the old man stepped forward, glanced at the drum in front of Yang Chen and the drumstick in his hand, and said, "You have just beaten a total of nineteen times, right?"
"Yes." Yang Chen heard the words and nodded calmly.
"Nineteen, nineteen..." Hearing this, the old man sighed again, but the expression in his eyes suddenly became sad, and said in a bleak voice: "Nineteen times, that's nineteen lives. ... It's so sad that nineteen lives are gone!"
boom!
Hearing this, Yang Chen's heart was shocked, and his eyes were also shocked and surprised. He asked a little puzzled: "What are the nineteen lives? Old gentleman, what are you talking about? I don't understand!"
Hearing this, the old man pondered for a moment, and said: "You are optimistic!"
After saying this, he just raised his hand without warning and waved his sleeve at the open space in front of him.
Wow!
In an instant, a mysterious screen suddenly appeared on the open space in front of him, and in the screen, it was a small village.
Seeing this scene, Yang Chen's eyes narrowed slightly. He recognized that this villa was not the same villa on Tianjian Mountain? At this moment, there are some mountain people standing in this villa, men plowing and weaving women, and they seem to be enjoying themselves.
suddenly.
Boom!
A dull drum sound suddenly rang.
The drum sound came too far, and it suddenly and clearly passed into the ears of every villager, and then, an incredible thing happened. After the drum sound fell, a village woman who was washing her clothes suddenly shook her body, and then she fell to the ground without warning.
Suddenly a circle of golden light gushed out of her body.
This golden light flew directly towards the top of Tianjian Mountain, penetrated into the sky, and finally slowly sank into a figure on the top of the mountain, and was sucked into the body by the person.
"this is me?"
Looking at the figure on the top of the mountain, Yang Chen was taken aback.
Isn't this person himself?
But before Yang Chen had time to react, he could only hear the drums of "Boom Boom Boom" again!
This time the drum beat was much more rapid than before, and the frequency has also increased a lot, it turned out to be as many as eighteen!
And then immediately.
The same thing as before happened, and after every drumbeat fell, a person in the villa collapsed to the ground, as if dead. After they died, golden light also diffused from their bodies, and finally flew to the sky.
After these golden lights hovered in the air for a while, they slowly fell down, and were finally absorbed by Yang Chen on the top of the mountain.
"This...this is..."
Seeing this scene, Yang Chen's pupils shrank severely, and his heartbeat intensified at this moment.
"Could it be that the golden energy that I just absorbed came from the lives of these villagers?" Yang Chen swallowed, and he resisted the panic in his heart, and said to the old man beside him.
"Did you find it?"
Hearing this, the old man sighed, his eyes also fixedly staring at Yang Chen in front of him, and said quietly: "Otherwise, why do you think your cultivation base has increased so quickly?"
"To tell you the truth, the lives of the villagers in Tianjian Mountain are closely related to these eight-sided drums. In other words, every time your drumsticks are dropped, one person in this villa will fall, and their lives, It will become your nourishment to enhance your strength."
"However, these villagers did not die naturally, but died in vain! Therefore, after they die, these energies will also carry a strong resentment, and will eat away at your body step by step, turning you into a human being. People, ghosts and not ghosts!"
Boom!
Hearing the old man's words, Yang Chen's heart shook again, and the hands holding the drumsticks trembled.
How did Yang Chen never think that he would become the murderer of the villagers? Although he had no intention of killing people, the villagers died because of him, and a strong sense of guilt surged into Yang Chen's heart.
"what?"
Seeing the guilt in Yang Chen's eyes, the old man raised his brows slightly, his eyes also showed a little difference, and curiously said, "Are you blaming yourself?"
"Yes." Yang Chen sighed, and said with a wry smile: "I really didn't expect that these energy would actually harm the villagers in the mountains...I won't use it anymore!"
After saying this, Yang Chen just returned the drumstick in his hand.
"what?"
Seeing this scene, the old man was surprised again, and said in surprise: "Are you really sure? You have to know that the energy contained in this drum, but you can't cultivate in the outside world for several lifetimes!"
"Although it will eat away at your physical body, but with your current cultivation base, you can completely recover your physical body within a few hundred years after you go out!"
"Even so, do you have to give up this powerful energy?"
The old man asked behind him, his tone full of endless temptation.
however.
Yang Chen was unmoved, as if he had already made a decision, he slowly turned around and said leisurely: "Old sir, I have decided, and I won't use this drum anymore!"
"Since the mountain people died because of me, then I can't escape the blame! I will bury the dead villagers and give their descendants a settlement! Although it is difficult to make up for their deaths, this is what I can do. The biggest limit!"
